Pedro Sanchez reaches out to the PNV and says he has chosen his "good company" to complete the legislature

The President of the Spanish Government has defended in Congress the "constructive opposition" of the PNV and has expressed his willingness to continue to have support to complete the legislature. He has done so after the jeltzale party asked that the executive should govern "alone or in company."

During the control session, Sanchez responded with a gesture of approach to the PNV spokeswoman, Maribel Cowboy, to the question of how she will maintain her legislative priorities with the current parliamentary arithmetic. "Of course I want company and also good company, like that of the PNV, "said the Spanish president, who insisted on his willingness to maintain cooperation with jeltzales.

Yesterday, the PNV cancelled ameeting with the PSE , with no new date, to protest against the dissemination of a manipulated image of PNV President Aitor Esteban, published on the networks by the Basque socialists, which the PNV described as "shameful" and described as "disrespectful".

To this must be added the abstention of the PNV in the vote on the housing decree, a movement that demonstrates the cooling of the party's relationship with the executive. 

In this context, Sanchez has sought to reduce tensionand has reiterated his willingness to continue to count on the support of the PNV, since the Spanish Government needs agreements in Congress to take forward the main initiatives.
